Selasa, 14 Agustus 2012

The popular Russian BitTorrent tracker website, RUTrakcer.org, has been breached by an unknown hacker group. According to CNews, the the attack began at 7 AM Moscow time.

The compromised site was sending visitors to an outside website titled “Ita est!” – Latin for “It is so!” The interloping site featured a story by writer Sergei Averintsev, “My Nostalgia.”

The hackers also changed the torrent tracking site’s domain registration data to a small Russian-language poem: “No one person can do everything alone, your might has been crushed. Take heed and fulfill this – no pornography, no lewd vulgarity, no stupefying ads.” The registered phone number was changed to that of the FSB’s terrorism hotline.
